Hi all,

My lens on my Samsung camera just made a grinding sound and it won't open.
I turned it on and quickly went to zoom and I heard a grind, now it's just pitch black. I try to turn it on and off and I hear a little noise coming from my lens (like a whir for 0.01ms) and then nothing. The LCD screen works so I'm guessing I just trashed this thing.

Yes?

It's about 5 years old now.

Are you sure there wasn't anything in there for example sand? I would suggest taking it to get fixed it will cost you but it's worth having it looked at as it would cost you more to get a new one.

Well... I don't live particularly close to any beaches, so no, not sand.
Damnit!
I might as well just sell a BTC and buy a DSLR, I'm thinking.
